Restored House in Madrid

Good morning dear readers. The house we're visiting today is located in San Lorenzo de El Escorial in Madrid. Bought and restored by architect Fernando Yankelevich and decorated by interior designer Silvia Caballero. Formerly a three level multiple family building, they turned it into their home. The ground floor is now used as their office and both upper levels are their living spaces. The living room, dining room and kitchen are all on the first floor and the bedroom, dressing room, bathroom and small hall on the second floor.
Furnished in antiques and items found on their many trips, they have created a warm and inviting home. N'est-ce pas? (Tomorrow I'm flying to Paris so I'm getting ready!)



The coffee table in the living room was purchased in Marrakesh.


I love the way the bare brick wall looks here.






Love this rustic stairway. I know exposed pipes are convenient but I would rather hide them.


The headboard here is actually two headboards put together.


Nice and tidy closet with those baskets.


A simple bathroom. I like the idea of hanging the hand towels right where you need them.
Hope you enjoyed this tour.
Happy Friday to you my friends!

Chateau Dior

Not much information about this magnificent residence. Beside location it just said "download pdf.". Well I did as I was told and downloaded pdf. but found no information there. Ah well, as it's a chateau, let's place it somewhere in the south of France, let's say in Provence, why not?

This Chateau Dior is a dream. Its beautiful gardens, the ivy creeping on the stone walls, the pool with coloured fish. It even has a detached chapel. As much as I love the outside and the building itself, and all the antique furniture, I am not so keen on the decor. Especially the bathroom and bedrooms. Well dears, just see for yourselves and let me know what you think.

Connecticut Country Farmhouse

Let's step inside an 1870 farm­house in Connecticut. Country style oozing out of every room.


Look at that Hydrangea climbing up the chimney! Awesome!








Fragments of 19th-century frakturs (documents such as baptism or birth certificates that were typically illustrated with angels or fanciful birds) flank the mirror above a cherrywood chest of drawers.


The owner's unusual collection of vintage rug beaters on the walls of the staircase leading to the basement.


The kids' playroom doubles as a crafting area with ingredients for art projects in metal kitchen tins.

Luxury Residence

Good morning sunshines! First things first: I want to thank and give a warm welcome to all my blog followers!

I usually show you pictures of small, cozy houses. Cottage houses which are warm and welcoming. Well, today I feel like Cinderella and my fairy godmother has sent me over here with her magic wand.
